We need to let you in on something. As impressive as a hulking upper body might be to your middle-school self, you end up looking like a weird, muscly Popsicle if you don’t have the legs to haul that thing around. So we asked Martin “Marty” Nothstein, an Olympic track-cycling gold medalist, what he does for his redwood-sized wheels.

Head When you’re in proper Pose form your head will stay still without any up-and-down or side-to-side motion....

This summer, surfing will make its debut at the Olympic Games as part of the new lineup for Tokyo 2020.

To say that Matt Warshaw’s “Encyclopedia of Surfing” goes deep into any and every obscure corner of surfing history would be understating things. Ever heard of a “Lazor Zap”? Well, if you punch those two words into the EOS search bar, you’ll find a 500-word entry on the bizarre, triangle-shaped surfboard designed by Australian shaper Geoff McCoy and popularized by former World No. 2 Cheyne Horan. From there, maybe you click Horan’s “Above the Roar” interview on the left side of the page and find a fascinating conversation about Horan’s journey with unorthodox boards, getting dropped by his sponsors for being gay (despite the fact that he wasn’t) and using “mind-expanders” to get in rhythm with the ocean....

Turkey is naturally a lean source of protein, but it’s advisable to remove any excess skin to reduce fat further. The biggest concern to nutrition expert Leah Kaufman, M.S., R.D., is the amount of salt in the dish. “This entire recipe has four times the amount of recommended salt servings per day,” she says. Kaufman recommends cutting the amount of salt in half and adding more of the flavored herbs such as rosemary, oregano, and parsley....

A 50-year-old guy goes to the doctor with the symptoms of, well, being a 50-year-old guy.

This confounds Tim Church, M.D., a preventive medicine researcher in Dallas....

Given its success with wildly popular series like Black Mirror and Stranger Things, it’s no surprise that Netflix has clearly bought into the sci-fi genre. Next up: Altered Carbon.
